U.S. Civil War: Chicago news media outright lies, claims no violence in Windy City for 42 hours!

28 May 2014 (15:58 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Rajab 1435/07 Khordad 1393/30 Ji-Si 4712

For the past couple of days I’ve read Chicagoland news media reports claiming that the Windy City experienced 42 hours without violence, specifically gun violence.  What the hell, are these journalists on prescription drugs or what?

Apparently this 42 hours stop violence bullshit was a “secret” “#SaveChicago” twitter based operation.  Well it was not a success as many Chicagoland news outlets are trying to make it out to be, just read my  latest updates from the past week (which are just about shootings, and don’t include stabbings, beatings, violence involving cars etc):

U.S. Civil War: Chicago update 26-27 May 2014, 4 dead 17 wounded! Rahm Emanuel shoots self in foot with own anti-gun report! Is proven by federal court to be anti-American!

7800 block of South Shore Drive: 26 years old man shot and wounded in the arm.

7200 block of South Dobson Avenue: 18 years old man shot in the butt and elbow.

400 block of South Pulaski Road: 29 years old man shot and wounded in the arm.

1500 block of East 74th Street: 19 years old man shot while he was walking.  He said he didn’t realize he was shot until he started to feel pain after hearing the gunshots.

Obama regime lackey Rahm Emanuel says guns are Chicago’s “most urgent problem”.   He wants to impose a minimum one month wait before a person can buy a gun, and they must be video taped when they buy the gun.  Emanuel claims that people with false IDs are buying guns through legal gun stores, implying that the federal background check doesn’t work!   I’ve pointed this out before;  police say most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers.  New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!  Guess what?  Rahm Emanuel even conducted a study that proves that most of the guns being used in the violence are already illegal!  Here’s a quote from his own report: “Every year, Chicago police officers take thousands of illegal guns off the street.”

In January a federal court ruled that Emanuel’s outright ban on gun shops violated our 2nd Amendment right.

Fukushima, Idaho, International, Technology, U.S.

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation fallout: INL violates own rules! British airliners made with radioactive chemicals! More Fukushima bullshit! Unit 4 explodes? WIPP truck caught fire due to high intensity heat!

27 May 2014 (19:19 UTC-07 Tango 26 May 2014)/27 Rajab 1435/06 Khordad 1393/29 Ji-Si 4712

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) revealing that British Aerospace (BAe) built 146 airliners are being made with highly toxic and even radioactive chemicals!

The ATSB reports that large numbers of airline employees are developing brain and breast cancers, as well as Parkinson’s.  One Quantas pilot had to be evacuated from the plane after collapsing from aerotoxic syndrome.  Passengers have never been told about the contamination, until now.

In the past five years Quantas airlines’ BAe 146 aircraft had to undergo 1-thousand “fume extractions”.  Compare that to Quantas Boeing 767s which underwent only 123 fume extractions.

Ducks in a row. BAe 146-200s and the old Convair CV580, at Pocatello airport during Idaho's 2012 wildfire outbreaks.

Ducks in a row. BAe 146-200s and the old Convair CV580, at Pocatello airport during Idaho’s 2012 wildfire outbreaks.

In Idaho, U.S.A., yet another former employee has blown the whistle on something that has been a continuous problem at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), despite which contractor is running the nuclear facility:  Failure to follow their own rules.

INL eastern entrance, in a remote area of eastern Idaho. INL has direct connections to WIPP.

INL eastern entrance, in a remote area of eastern Idaho. INL has direct connections to WIPP.

Dennis Patterson worked at the INL for 30 years (during that time the facility’s official name changed several times) and learned of the failures of the site’s managers when he investigated complaints from contracted workers.  When he tried to correct the wrongs of his superiors “…that’s when the trouble began.  I became the bad guy. They came after me, repeatedly.”

He has written a book:  Department of Energy Whislteblower: Justice over Racial Discrimination and Ethics Violations in a Right to Work State

And the INL is one of at least three U.S. Department of Defense nuclear sites that send waste to New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

It’s been revealed that the WIPP salt truck fire, which took place a week before the LANL mixed waste drum explosion (explosions?), was caused due to the truck carrying combustible oils, then coming into contact with intense heat igniting the oil.

State officials are now demanding the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) permanently seal up two nuke waste storage rooms (panels) in WIPP.  The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) even called for an “expedited closure”.

The NMED says that daily data reports from WIPP show that the explosion actually affected two panels, not one as originally reported. And the data on contamination levels are getting worse, and the DoE’s actions are insufficient, so they want panels 6 and 7 sealed up: “…those panels need be closed immediately!”-Ryan Flynn, New Mexico’s Environment Secretary

In Japan, more revelations about the BS covering up how bad Fukushima Daiichi is.

Despite what was officially reported back in 2011, that Fukushima Daiichi employees remained at their posts during the beginning stages of the melt downs, it’s been revealed that 90% of the contracted throwaway workers fled for their lives!  That included top managers! Basically the nuclear plant was virtually abandoned for at least four days, only 10% of employees remained!  (I watched events live on NHK, and I was wondering why it looked like nothing was being done, for at least a week after the earthquake and tsunami)

This is why Yoshida Masao, boss of the nuclear plant at the time, ordered employees to stand their ground.  Months later Masao suffered a sudden and mysterious onset of cancer, he died last year.  Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) denies Masao got cancer as a result of exposing himself to radiation in an attempt to control the situation.

The Asahi Shimbun got a hold of a 400 page document in which Masao describes the abandonment of the Fukushima Daiichi.

The Japanese government continues to renege on its promise to make public 772 interviews of workers at Fukushima Daiichi.  The current neo-imperialist government now says they will only release those interviews if all those who were interviewed consent to their testimonies being made public!

On 20 May 2014, somebody posted dark grainy video to the internet, claiming that it showed a fire or explosion at Fukushima Daiichi’s GE designed reactor Unit 4.  The video is too washed out to be conclusive, and there has been no comment from TEPCo or neo-imperialist government officials.

‘Green’ cat litter caused WIPP explosion?

U.S. job losses & store closings 19 February 2014: More ObamaCare hospital shutdowns! Massive restaurant shutdowns!

Incomplete list of announced closings & layoffs.

Italian restaurant chain, Sbarro, shutting down 155 restaurants in the United States!  Company officials blame the suck ass economy.

Alabama: Another Books-A-Million store shutdown, this time in Hoover.  The store was at that location for 23 years.

Arizona: The Blue Ridge Unified School District warned of layoffs.

Connecticut: In Farmington, the Build A Bear store shutdown.  Company officials said they are “adapting to changes in the economy”.  In West Hartford, after 74 years the Crown Market grocery store shutdown.  The family owners say they can’t compete anymore.

Georgia:  In East Cobb, Kmart announced they will shutdown in March.

Indiana: In Indianapolis, after 40 years the MCL Restaurant & Bakery shutdown.

Massachusetts: In Jamaica plain, the Video Underground shutdown.

Nebraska: In Omaha, after 60 years Eli Caniglia’s Venice Inn restaurant shutdown.  The family owners say they want to spend more time with their families, but it might really be because the family sold out to an evil property developer.

New York:  In Pearl River, legal drugs maker Pfizer laid off 44 employees.   In Long Island, the Long Beach Medical Center now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  285 jobs threatened!  The Wall Street Journal initially blamed Hurricane Sandy, but then revealed the true reason, Obama Care: “Nationwide, cuts to state and federal reimbursement rates have hit hospitals and health-care centers, causing many to search for strategic partners and some to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Long Beach Medical wasn’t immune to these troubles, but the hospital hired premier doctors and upgraded its technology to try to combat steep losses.”

Ohio: East Cleveland laid off 12 employees from the Parks and Recreation Department, Police Department, Fire Department,  Building and Housing Department, Community Development Department, Helen S. Brown Senior Center and even the mayor’s executive assistant.  14 remaining full time city employees will be reduced to part time.  In Dayton, Champps Americana Grill shutdown without warning, 65 jobs lost: “Despite the best efforts of the team there, this had been a store that had been under-performing for some time.”-Rick Van Warner, F&H Acquisition

Oregon: In Portland, the Wildwood shutdown.  The restaurant owner says the property owner wanted to jack up the rent.

Pennsylvania: In Pittsburg, the Bridge Ten Brasserie restaurant shutdown.  The owner blamed the bad economy saying “Regrettably, ‘success commerciale’ has proven elusive.”

Wisconsin: God refuses to stop Marquette University from killing 25 jobs.  The Catholic university says it’s necessary to keep tuition affordable, but never mind that they raised the tuition the month prior (you see you can’t trust Christians)!  In Fond du Lac, after 40 years The Card Shack shutdown.

16 – 18 February 2014:  Military food contractor now busted, sold off to Idaho? 

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

Obama promises to keep troops in Afghanistan, reveals top CIA boss!

26 May 2014 (02:28 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Rajab 1435/05 Khordad 1393/28 Ji-Si 4712

“I’ve made it clear that we’re prepared to continue cooperating with our Afghan partners on two security missions, training and equipping Afghan forces and targeting…….al Qaeda…………And once Afghanistan has sworn in its new president, I’m hopeful we’ll sign a bilateral security agreement that lets us move forward. And with that bilateral security agreement, assuming it is signed, we can plan for a limited military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014.“-Barack Obama, Bagram airbase, 26 May 2014

The incompetent Obama regime also revealed the top Central Interagency Agency (CIA) boss in Afghanistan, according to the Washington Post.  The newspaper has not published the name and says the Obama regime quickly sent off a new email when they were notified of the “mistake”.

Obama regime lackeys blamed DoD officials for approving the initial email list of names.

International

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 15-18 May 2014: Obama regime lying about TBI! Cops & families killing each other! Obama regime releases Pakistani prisoners! More Russian helicopters paid for by U.S. taxpayers! Obama regime to spend $10-billion after 2014 pullout!

Faryab Province: In Khwajah Gawhar District, a Mujahideen leader was executed by Mujahideen.  Afghan National Army officials say they don’t know the specific reason why, but suspect he was accused of working with the government before he was hanged.

Ghazni Province: In Andar district, at least 11 people killed, four wounded, after U.S.-NATO airstrike.

Herat Province: In Islam Qala town, a motorcycle bomb went off by a Mosque, then, as police gathered to investigate a second bomb exploded.  One cop killed, at least four wounded.

Kabul Province: The Independent Election Commission (IEC) of Afghanistan released the final vote count from the fraudulent elections.  None of the candidates got the required minimum number of votes to be declared a winner.  A second election is on hold until the IEC can get enough voting materials together.  Apparently all that tax money spent by other countries to prepare for the elections wasn’t enough for a surprise second election.

Kandahar Province: In Maruf District, government officials are reporting battles between Afghan and Pakistani border police.  At least one Afghan border cop killed.  In Arghandab District, a policeman killed four of his family members, then killed his police boss as he arrived to investigate.  The renegade cop was then killed by other cops.  Police also shot and killed a man, then claimed he was a suicide bomber.  In Shahwali Kot District, four cops have been sentenced to death for murdering three civilians.  The cops claim they were hired by the victims’ own families to assassinate them.

Kunduz Province: A diplomat from Tajikistan was wounded after unknown gunmen attacked his vehicle.   In Khas Kunar District, one student killed, two wounded by explosion.

Nangarhar Province: In Ghani Khel District, an explosion killed one person and wounded 27 others.

Takhar Province: In Bahauddin District, a suicide bomber using a motorcycle bomb attacked an Afghan National Police convoy.  One person dead, 12 wounded.

Afghan religious leader Ayatullah Mohaghegh Kabul says Iran is paying Afghan refugees, living in Iran, $500 per month plus legal residency if they fight against  Obama regime backed insurgents in Syria.   He claims the bodies of so called Iranian fighters in Syria are actually Afghans.  The Afghan government is investigating.

Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation confirmed they are delivering 30 Mil Mi-17B-5 gunships to Afghanistan by the end of 2014.  It’s part of a new deal signed with the U.S. Department of Defense at the end of 2013.

Russia wants to establish an international anti-drug headquarters in Afghanistan, since Afghanistan is now the number one source of opium ever since the U.S. invaded: “We suggest the creation of an international headquarter or an office for combating the planetary center of drug production in Afghanistan. The goal of the HQ would be to consolidate the currently separate anti-narcotic programs in Afghanistan and to create an effective, internationally-supervised mechanism to eradicated drug production.” Viktor Ivanov,  Russian Federal Drug Control Service

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, said the Obama regime plans on spending $10-billion of your tax dollars every year in Afghanistan, after the supposed 2014 pullout!

A 19 years old U.S. Army Specialist from California serving in Jordan, in support of operations in Afghanistan, has died of “non-hostile” causes.  However, it turns out he was indeed shot.  The U.S. Army says they are investigating.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say the U.S. Department of Defense lies about how many personnel have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The study was published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, and says TBI is actually five times higher than what the DoD reports!  The researchers suggest one reason for the under-reporting is to deny veterans health care through the Veterans Affairs.

U.S. Civil War 2014: Anti-gun Martial Laws can’t stop deaths by stabbing!

26 May 2014 (19:31 UTC-07 Tango 25 May 2014)/26 Rajab 1435/05 Khordad 1393/28 Ji-Si 4712

The following are just a few of the stabbing reports from the past week, in the United States.

California: In Temecula, a 23 years old man has been accused of stabbing two women, one fatally.   According to the Defense Attorney the man has a history of “severe mental health issues”.  In fact, police knew the guy was dangerous after he made threats to kill his father during a parole visitation back in March!  In Indio, a 17 years old was stabbed to death at a house party.  Apparently the party turned into a fight.  Police arrested the suspect.  California has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the United States, yet they didn’t stop a mother of three from stabbing to death all her children! 

Georgia: In Atlanta, parents pissed themselves after a first grade Kennesaw elementary school student brought a kitchen knife to school (it was in his backpack).

Hawaii:  In Hilo, a 28 years old man was charged with stabbing a man he knew, then randomly stabbing another man and a woman whom he didn’t know.  So far no motive reported.  The three victims were treated, one man is in critical condition.

Illinois:  In Chicago, police shot and killed a man they claim was threatening them with a knife.  Police say the man was also threatening paramedics who had responded to a stabbing report.  A woman has been charged with stabbing to death the father of her child, because he failed to buy her something while they were at the mall!  (who said women are natural pacifists?)

Indiana: In Washington, two people stabbed, one in the neck the other in the shoulder.  Police say the stabbings are not related and have no suspects.

Kansas: In Wichita, a 18 years old man says he survived an attack by several men armed with a gun, knives and even a crowbar.  He says a man armed with a knife slashed at him, but only cut his shorts.  The victim then ran for his life.

Maryland:  In Lanham,  four people stabbed.  Two in the abdomen,  one in the head, the other stabbed in the face.  One person has been arrested.   In Baltimore, police are investigating three stabbings.  Two victims refused treatment, a third victim was driven to the hospital by a friend.  No suspects so far.  In Towson,  three people stabbed in two separate incidents outside a hookah lounge.  Local news reports say that for some reason shootings and stabbings are escalating in connection with hookah bars.  In Ocean City, officials banned knives and laser pointers during the Memorial Day weekend, and are trying to ban them all together: “They’re a public safety issue and a quality of life issue. We try to promote that we’re a family-friendly town here, and we’ve noticed more and more places on the Boardwalk are selling these knives, and that certainly doesn’t lend itself to a family atmosphere.  It is something we want to nip in the bud. We don’t want them on our Boardwalk or in our town.”-Brent Ashley, city council

Missouri: In Saint Louis, four people wounded, one killed, in three separate stabbings.  In the fatal stabbing police said it was the result of an argument over the price of illegal drugs.  In the second case it was a fight between two women.  In the third case it was a home invasion in which residents where held at gunpoint while they were methodically slashed with a knife by a woman (who said women are natural pacifists?).  One victim jumped out a window, and another tried to run out the door but was shot in the back.  The sadistic criminals then fled.  All three victims survived.

New Jersey: In Kinnelon, a 25 years old man stabbed his apparent father 13 times, then stabbed his mother(?).  Police refused to confirm the relationship of the people involved, saying only that they consider it a domestic violence case.  In Wayne, a man was shot in the head by cops after threatening to kill his mother with a knife.  Even after being shot in the head police claim he resisted arrest.  He’s in the hospital and news reports say the man had “ran out of meds”.   A neighbor described the family as “…wonderful people, and very, very nice.”   In New Jersey using a knife will get you charged with “unlawful use of a weapon” and “possession of a weapon for unlawful use”.  Wow, can you make anymore laws to fill your books?   They obviously didn’t stop these crimes from happening!

New Mexico:  In Albuquerque, a man was stabbed in the stomach and throat.  He walked into a convenience store and asked for help.   At first the employees thought it was fake, but finally called 911: “Yes, this guy in the parking lot, I think he got shot or something, he’s bleeding to death.”-911 call

Responding police locked down the street and the store, but no arrests made.

New York: In Onondaga County, since April there have been multiple stabbings as the result of anything from domestic violence to armed robberies.   At least nine people stabbed, four people arrested.  In Buffalo, a man was slashed in the back of his head, apparently crack cocaine was involved.   Laws such as “menacing”, “criminal possession of a weapon” and “assault” failed to stop the crimes.

Pennsylvania: In Lancaster, one man stabbed in the nose after ignoring another man who asked for a cigarette.   Another man stabbed twice in the shoulder during an attempted armed robbery.  Police have no suspects.  In Harrisburg, a 20 years old woman has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her 45 years old boyfriend (who said women are natural pacifists?).  In Shippensburg, a 22 years old man was stabbed to death, a 25 years old man was charged with the homicide.   One local news report said the victim had just served time in prison,  for stabbing.  No other info was given by cops.  People living in the neighborhood said the men(?) were arguing over a woman.

South Carolina:  Summerville police want to arrest a man for killing his 60 years old girlfriend with a knife.  The suspect has gone missing.

Texas: In Fort Worth, God refused to stop a Texas Christian University student from being stabbed.  Police say the victim’s guts were hanging out, he survived.  Police say it was the result of a racial argument.

Virginia: In Purcellville, police shot and killed a teenager who they say attacked them with a knife.  Apparently the teen was going to kill himself anyway.  In Woodbridge, a man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing to death another man during an argument.

U.S. job losses & store closings 16 – 18 February 2014: No more Captain Jack? More layoffs for prisoner operated commercial greenhouses! ObamaCare killing Christian healthcare jobs! Military food contractor now busted, sold off to Idaho?

Incomplete list of announced closings & layoffs.

After 60 years Wisconsin based American TV & Appliance shutting down all 11 stores in three states. 1-thousand jobs lost!  CEO Doug Reuhl blamed the “unforgiving economy”.

The largest pharmacy benefits provider in the United States, Express Scripts, laid off 100 people across the country!  This is rumored to be the first round of layoffs for 2014.  Last year they killed 425 jobs!  The company has been restructuring ever since taking over Medco Health Solutions in 2012.

Arizona:  The once profitable Gilbert Hospital is now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  It’s blamed on everything from corrupt hospital officials, to a creditor suddenly calling in a $1.1-million USD loan, to Obama Care funding cuts.  At least 100 jobs threatened!  In Willcox, NatureSweet laid off 70 employees at their tomato greenhouse operation.  Last year they laid off 65 employees.  Please note that NatureSweet also uses prisoners as employees, and none of them got laid off.  The Willcox operation used to be owned by EuroFresh, and back then they employed 400 prisoners.  It was also revealed that for years there has been a “disease” inside the greenhouses, but company officials claim they have it under control.  In Phoenix, the South Mountain YMCA shutdown, due to declining memberships.

California:  Abbot Vascular killed 144 healthcare jobs across the Golden State!  In Oakland, Alta Bates Summit Medical Center laid off 11 employees.  In Pittsburg, United Spiral Pipe laid off 50 employees.   What housing market recovery?  In Irvine, Genpact Mortgage killed 81 jobs.  They killed about 65 jobs last year as well.

Florida: In Sebring, after 26 years women’s clothing store Sue’s Cubby Hole shutdown.  The owner blames health problems.

Georgia: In Moultrie, taxsucker Riverside Manufacturing shutting down their military uniform factory and warehouse, 140 jobs lost: “We worked diligently for many months to secure new contracts that required ‘Made in USA’ garments. However, a recent volume reduction in our largest federal government uniform program made the costs of domestic production unsustainable.” 

Illinois: In Bolingbrook, supplier of food to the U.S. Department of Defense, Quantum Foods, now chapter 11 busted.  Company officials are hoping to sell out to Idaho based CTI Foods, but Quantum’s 1100 employees being warned to prepare for sudden unemployment!  In Macomb, Capitol Music shutdown. The owner, Eric Matthews, blames the bad economy saying “…the big thing has been the traffic count, declining sales in the music business and our inability to generate new customers….” 

Iowa: In Des Moines, after 30 years Billy Joe’s Lounge shutdown.  The owner said he needs to focus on family and other business ventures.

Kentucky:  God refuses to stop non-profit KentuckyOne Health from laying off an undisclosed number of healthcare employees.  The company has 15-thousand employees across the United States. KentuckyOne Health is a conglomeration of non-profit hospitals (the primary member is Catholic Health Initiatives) and is being adversely affected by government funding cuts brought on by Obama Care: “There has been a fundamental shift in the way health care is organized and delivered. We must change in order to sustain our purpose…..”-Barbara Mackovic, spokeswoman

Louisiana: The University of New Orleans warned of layoffs.  The university has already spent the past two years making drastic cuts.  They blame down student enrollment on Hurricane Katrina, saying the university still has not returned to the student population levels prior to the  2005 hurricane.  And Louisiana Delta Community College wants to layoff 28 employees.  The college has been forced to cut its operating budget by millions of dollars for the past several school years.

Massachusetts: In Boston, video game maker Irrational Games laid off “…all but about fifteen members of the Irrational team” in order to “refocus” its operations.  In Ashland, after 25 years The Malt Shop liquor store shutdown.

North Carolina: Duke Energy abandoning its wholesale power-generation business in the Midwest, because it is not profitable.  This is because many midwest states have denied the outrageous rate increases sought by Duke Energy.  Duke Energy is now selling off a dozen power plants, affecting 600 jobs!

Vermont: In Bennington, after 45 years the CTC Vermont Color Photo Lab shutdown.

Virginia: In Bristol, JCPenney announced they will shutdown in May, 67 jobs lost.   In Reston, a Burger King shutdown.

14 – 15 February 2014: More mom & pops saying “It’s not fun anymore!” 

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

Exceptional Failed State: Don’t blame guns! Bullied Isle Vista shooter deranged by prescription drugs?

“….he fell from a balcony at a party or was thrown off of it. I think he was probably a victim from my understanding of bullying throughout his life… I’m sure that had played a role in the terrible consequences from last night.”-Alan Schifman, Rodger family attorney

Former U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, outright lied to reporters when she said “This is almost the kind of event that’s impossible to prevent and almost impossible to predict.”

California’s Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department revealed that not only was the Isle Vista shooter under psychiatric care, but the cops and social workers knew about it!  The guy even began posting his strange videos weeks ago, prompting a social worker to contact cops last week!

The son of the assistant director for the first Hunger Games movie was being treated by “multiple therapists” (implying multiple prescriptions).

The Rodger family is openly anti-gun, but that didn’t stop their son from somehow acquiring guns and an incredible amount of ammo.  Anybody notice that these mass shooters always get their hands on massive amounts of ammo, at a time when law abiding gun owners are struggling to find ammo due to the fact that multiple federal agencies are buying up civilian ammo by the ton?

Of course, already families of victims are calling for outright gun ban.  But guess what, why didn’t the cops intervene when they had a chance, based on the videos the shooter posted before he went on the drug induced(?) rampage?  After all, they did interview him.

Maybe if UCSB allowed guns on campus, like here in Idaho, somebody could’ve shot the guy early on.

And banning guns wouldn’t have stopped him from stabbing to death his three roommates.  I don’t hear those families of the victims calling for a sharp object ban.  And what about reports of people he ran over with his car, is it time to ban cars?  By the way, in the U.S. more people are killed by cars than guns.

Why don’t these so called responsible citizens who want to ban guns take a look at the fact that all mass shootings in the U.S. involved prescription drugs?

Since 1988 there have been 32 mass shootings at schools where the shooters were on prescription drugs, and those are just the cases where it was made public.  Mass shootings in shopping malls and even military bases have one thing in common: prescription drug use by the shooter!  Increasing suicides and ‘accidental’ overdoses are also connected to these legal drugs.

Even the International Society For Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry states that mass shootings are caused by prescription drug use, not the guns themselves.

But those so called responsible anti-gun Americans won’t call for a ban on prescription drugs, because they are prescription drug addicts themselves!  You made your bed, now sleep in it!

Legal drugs associated with mass shootings in the United States:  Prozac, Ambien, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, Ritalin, Xanax, Trazodone, Effexor and Celexa.

Most of those drugs are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI).  There is a website that tracks killings connected to these drugs: SSRI Stories
